it’s hour number two going on three for about the fifth or sixth time and I can’t find one pair of basic everyday shoes that inspires me. There are so many to choose from but I can’t find just one that is even close to being an expression of me. I feel so uninspired, exhausted, blah and frankly I am over it! I am so clear at this point that I have no desire to spend any more time looking for shoes that I love and something’s gotta give. So I have a thought, ‘What if I just create my own shoe brand? What if I create a brand of shoes that inspires people to explore, discover, embrace and express who they truly are? What would life and the world look like if more people were freely self expressed, and they could just live it everyday through the shoes that they wore?’ I have never pondered this question in this way and for the first time, I take the time to picture it! I can actually see it! It’s fun, colorful, playful, filled with ease, and just a delight to be in. People are happy in their bodies, and they are free to share that with the world. They are not just happy; they are content! But most of all, they are at peace! They don’t want to be someone else, they love being themselves, and they love that other people are themselves too. They feel safe because they don’t have to hide, or fear that they aren’t good enough or that someone else is better than them, because it is clear that it would be like comparing apples to oranges. They are empowered and confident and are not threatened by other people being different from them – in fact they enjoy their differences and the adventures they bring with them! They are alive and they are thrilled to share it and that’s all they can do! They couldn’t be miserable if they tried because life is bliss!
